While has three teammates featured more prominently in the start of the campaign, the 18-year-old Mount had to earn his way into head coach Henk Fraser's plans, and his recent display in the 1-1 draw to Lazio in the Europa League had both Vitas and Blues fans excited.

A tireless attacking midfielder with great positional sense and an eye for goal, Mount earned his first start in the league on Sunday in the 2-0 win over ADO Den Haag and went on to assist USA international Miazga for the second goal.

"It's great to get a victory because our last few games have been tough. We knew we had to bounce back after a tough Europa League game midweek," he said after Vitesse ended a run of three league games without a victory.

"In my mind during training, I always act as if I am not in the starting 11 but on the bench so that I always show the hunger to be the best I can.

"I need to keep working hard. I hope the manager is happy. I am happy here at Vitesse Arnhem and I felt that I should have scored today as I had a good chance but I am delighted with my assist for Matt Miazga today."
